How long does a civil suit take?
Timelines vary with the court, the complexity of the matter and the conduct of the parties. Interim relief such as an injunction can sometimes be obtained at an early stage. We give you a realistic assessment at the outset.
Is there a time limit for filing a civil case?
Yes. The Limitation Act, 1963 prescribes time limits for different kinds of claims — for example, three years for many money claims. Delay can defeat a valid claim, so it is wise to seek advice early.
Can a civil dispute be settled out of court?
Often, yes. Negotiated settlements, mediation and Lok Adalats can resolve disputes faster and at lower cost. We advise you on whether and when settlement is in your interest.
